was ordered to receive them, caused the Commanders of CoMpanies to be arrested; who were immediately delivered up by some conspirator& At this moment the following words were heard, " Hear those discharges; 'tis your com rades they are slauptering!" At these words ..the bat talion rushed out of the.baxracks, and met on their way the lieutenant of a regiment of Finland, Who cried to them,— "In square against the cavalry." The rebellion first began in the regiment of Moscow. Prince Stchapine, after am mating his soldiers by a 100 speech, ordered them to take cartouch balls, mid charge their guns, take the colours from the grenadiers , and repulse them with the butt -ends of their muskets. He himself attacked General Frederick, and wounded hint on the head, General Schonschin, whom he sabred in several places, and several other :officers, and sub-officers, He at length got possession of the colours, and moved on at the heed of his companies to the " Place: du Senat." Notwithstanding this conduct,.be was said to have already repented, and that morning rising from his bed, he uttered the following prayer t—" Oh, my God! if our enterprise be just:, grant us thy aid; if not, may thy will be done , respecting us 1" The regiment of Grenadiers belonging to that bod y which joined the companies led by Prince Stchapine, was induced to revolt by similar means. But the measures adopted soon put a stop to the insurrection. Anarchy began to prevail in the ranks of the rebels , thOugh the most furious continued to signalise themselves by mas sacreing all who conic in 'their way. It has been proved that it was Kahonaky that mortally wounded with a pistol shot General Miloradowitch, who had received the stab of a bayonet also from Prince Eugene Obolonsky.— Kahousky, after killing Col. Sturler, threw down his pistol, saying., "Enough for to-day—l have two of them to an swer for." Prince Stehttpine first gave the order to fire. A Colo nel and several soldiers were wounded ; and William Ku ehelbecker dared to aim his pistol at the Grand Duke Michael, but the sailors arrested his arm. Of all the conspirators, however, who were to go to the rendezvous to take the command of the troops, Boulatoff alone presented himself, as a mere spectator; Yakoubo vitch was seen but for a moment; and Prinee Troubet zkcoy came in all haste to take the oath to your Majesty, flattering himself that he would thereby efface 11, portion of his. crime. After that he fled 'to the . Austrian Minister, brother-in-law of his wife, where Count Nesselrode de manded him by order of your Majesty. in fine, Batenkoff hurried without delay to take the oath to your Majesty, without` bestowing a single thought more on the reform of the State, the glory of becoming one of the heads of the Government, and wishing for nothing more then the immediate arrest of the rebels ! All other individuals who have taken part more or less iii the rebellion, having betrayed each other reciprocally, soo n' came under the cognizance of your Commission.— Being arrested and interrogated, some of them made them selves voluittury prisoners, and among the rest Colonel Boulatoff, who became frantic on finding that his name was made use of to draw his regiment to its destruction. — The idea that all the soldiers of that regiment who were found on the Place de Senet were to be put to death had disturbed his reason, and in a letter addressed totheGrand Duke Michael, he said—" Every man who shall see my name subscribed tothe form of oath will there distinguish the signature of a villain!" But those stormy passions by which he was so much agitated soon subsided. Boulatoff was not a villein—at least lie was not hardened in crime, and up to the moment of his death, which was occasioned by his old complaint, he ceased to be tormented by the recellection of his horrible design ; he, however, endea voured to appease his remorse by unlimited disclotiures, and dying, confidently bequeathed his children to the Sovereign whom his hand had attempted to assassinate. Ise the South arrests of principal...conspirators are taking place, in consequence of orders from Taganrog, sent on account of tile, informatimis of Captain Mayporoda. Although Pestel promised to make no discovery, he I has avowed and named his accomplices, who have been sent to Petersburgb , at t h e re q uest of the Commission. 'rite troubles of Vasilkoff arose from the arrest of the brothers IMouravieff, Who, not 'being guarded with suffi cient care, were given up in the night time. Being given In custody to $OlllO otbu rs belonging to the Society of Slaves, they conceived the project of Making the regiment of Tchereigoff rise in rebellion; but this enterprise, which was begun to be put into execution, was put an end to by a Jetuchment of the hussars of General Geismas; all the co a s 'oiratore were delivered up by the soldiers, or , put to death ,during the action.

SEIVIMiR • ASSIZES. tifIREWSUURY , Mr. Justice Burrougli was occupied:during the whole ni Friday and. Saturday, till s; late hour each night, in the trial of a cause which excited touch local interest. It was an action of ejectment brought by Mr. Richard Walmesley Lloyd, against Colonel Passinglunn,, for the recovery of considerable estates in Merionethshire. The family of Mr. Lloyd had been for a long tune in possession of the estates until the year. 1794, when Colonel Passingham and his brother obtained a verdict for' their recovery as the right heirs of the original possessor, at. the amine for this county, in a trial before the late Mr. JUstice 'Heath, in which the late Lord Erskine, then at the bar, was brought down special for Messrs. Passinghams, and the present Mr.'Baran . ()arrow was also specially retained for the Lloyds. The Learned Baron, at present one of the judges on this circuit., transferred the trial to : Mr. Justice Bur rough from motives of delicacy. Liorr, e. easstsonsm. Mr. Taunton, with whom was Mr. Campbell and Mr. Richards, stated the case to the jury. He said that the eject ment was brought by the plaintiff in support of his right un der the will of the late Aim Catherine Lloyd. In the year 1740, the estate, for the recovery of which the present ac tion was brought, was in possession of the late Gowen Lloyd, Esq. of Hinwr,.in IVlerionethshire, That gentle man, in the year MK had married Miss Catharine NB, a member of die ancient and distinguished family of that name, in the county of Salop. By the marriage settlement, the lady had a life-interest in the estate, which was also settled upon the ifilint of that marriage. Mr. Guwen Lloyd died hi March, in they ear 074; and hi s w id ow 4re ved him, in the enjoy of the estate, till the year 1,7b11 when she also died without issue.

This family (the latter)nhad_in the year 1794 brought their ac tion for the recovery of the property, as the real and only heir at law of the late Guwen Lloyd, Esq., by virtue of a marriage, said to have been contracted by that gen tleman prior to his union with Miss Hill, of which there was issue, according to their account, one - daughter, who had married Mr. Passingliam,,the father of the gentlemen who had succeeded in their action in the year 1794. The Passinghams, therefore, claimed, as grandsons of Guwen Lloyd, by his alleged first marriage with Elizabeth Taylor, antecedent to his knowledge. of the Hill family. Mr. Jus tice Heath was a great lawyer, but he was wrong. in ad mitting the proof of marriage which was tendered with Elizabeth Taylor. To the reign of George IL, and before the passing of the Marriage Act, a scandalous practice had long prevailed of what were called " Fleet marriages"— that is, Marriages ~performed in the, Fleet prison, and its neighbourhood • the Fleet ditch, in houses regularly ar ranged for the purpose, where, to the disgrace of the church, clergymen at the time officiated. These marriages were then legal ; a registry..of them was duly kept, but the registry was constantly made the vehicle of every kind of fraud, falsehood, and imposture, until at length it became an incontrovertible rule of law, that this registry was not admissible evidence in the courts of justice. The Fleet registers were passed from hand to hand by public sale, as articles of gain, and were held by people for gaining a live lihood, though they were made up Heaven only knew how, and kept heaven only knew where. They were for years brought as proof of every kind of scandalous mar riage. Mr. Justice Heath had unfortunately admitted this species of. evidence in the trial of 1794 ; but he was principally influenced in that admission by.. the pro- . duction- of an attested copy of entries in . the pa rish register of the church of St. Pancras, which went to corroborate the probability of the Fleet marriage. Two pieces of paper were produced purporting to be exact co ies'of a how fide entry in the St. Pancras registry of the baptism of Elizabeth, daughter of Elizabeth, the wife of Guwen Lloyd, Esq., and of the death of . Elizabeth Lloyd herself, wife of the said Guwen. TheSe entries were dated 1741 and 1742. He was now prepared to prove, not by attested copies, but by the -identical regis tration.book itself, that these entries were fraudulent and interpolated fabrications—that both the alleged baptism and burial were obviously in the same hand-writing, which was not to be found in any other part of the same book— that the parchment leaves were ground doWn by pumice stone, so as to erase the original writing on the leaves, for the purpose (if substituting these fraudulent entries. He was compelled to affirth that this fraud ' was practised in the presence, and with the privity of the then clergyman of St. . Pancras, Mr. Sawyer, by it man named Kendry who was at the time in an . attorney's office, with a member of the Passingham family, and he would . prove the erasure by , the production of the book itself, • in which the operation upon the parchment was plainly visible, as well au by- the deposition of the parish clerk, who was an eye-witness .of the perpe tration of the fraud by the parties already mentioned.— Elizabeth Taylor, the alleged first wife of Mr. Guwen Lloyd, was a bar-maid at the Thatched-house Tavern, St. James's, a tavern then frequented by Mr. Lloyd, and he would show that that female was buried in the -parish church of St. James, by the name of Elizabeth Taylor, in the year 1741. With reference to the St. Pancras regis ter, it was a remarkable fact, that since the production of it, at the former trial, a rough. book in which the loose entries were first made had been discoveredat St. Pancras. This rough book corresponded in every part. with the fair register, except in these particular pages where the fabri cated entries had been made, and such a circumstance at once flashed conviction upon the understanding. He would also skew, that after the success which had attended the trial of 1794, gratuities were distributed by the Pas. 1 singhams among those who 'hod assisted in: accomplishing theirimrpose. Kendry Was prevailed upon to go to North America, where the yellow fever was at the tone raging; he, fortunately, however escaped that scourge, and would be afterwards found making a variety. of applications to his companion in the attorney's office, Mr. Passingham, who was by him assisted. into the possession of this property. — He would also show what had been the fate of Elizabeth Taylor, and how unlikely it • was that she had been . ever married to Mr. Guwen Lloyd, or that her child Elizabeth was legitimate ; for • that child was sent toe 'poor village school kept by a barber,. or his wife, at Teddington, near London, and -there always known;known;by the name of Bet Taylor. Mr. Gowen Lloyd was a .gentleman of fortune and familyi who had married into, one. of the highest fami lies of this country. Now it was just possible that such a man might have married the bar-maid of a tavern ; but was it likely, though he might have concealed that mar riage for obvious reasons, that he would have likewise Iteglected and deserted his legitimate daughter, he, too, not having any child by the marriage with Mitts Hill? This daughter. was permitted . throughout her life to move unnoticed and in obscurity. • She was reared at the barber's school as plain " Bet Taylor," .until she- was twelve years old. ' She afterwards married the, father of Messrs. Passingham, then went to Bath, where she kept a lodging-house, and afterwards undertook the office of. housekeeper to Mr. Birt, a surgeon, near St. Thomas's Hospital, where he would prove by the evi dence. of Mr. Blount, a surgeon of great eminence, near Birmingham, who had of late years retired from the pro fession with a large fortune, but who was in the year 1774 a pupil of Mr. Birt, that the poor woman had always re presented herself as 'theillegitimate daughter of a Welsh gentleman, named Lloyd,. and. had died broken-hearted when she heard he had not mentioned her or her children in his will. In addition to the evidence to which. he al haled, he had besides, the circumstantial corroboration, furoished by incidental facts. For instance, on the death of Mr. GUWIOII Lloyd, a plain tablet was erected to his memory, in his parish church of Llanbyssell, in the Month of March, 1774, long before any claim of the Passinghams was thought of, upon which it was inscribed that he died " .without issue." After, however, the trial of 1794, Mr. Passingham had a new inscription engraved for Mr. Guwen Lloyd, and set up in a monument in the same place, omitting altogether the fact. -of his having. died without issue. Now this gentleman, whose epi taph was thus written, had solemnly sworn in taking out the certificate for his marriage with Miss Hill, that he was then a bachelor, whereas if the account given by the Passinghams were true, his proper in scription would have been wit hover. After this, the Messrs. Passinghams entered into a compromise with Mary Lloyd, then above 90 years of age, and long a blind woman, by which she was prevailed upon to admit the legitimacy, of the Passinghams , to pay them 7,0001. 114 a remtmeration for certain sales of property, and to make arrangements on the expiration of life-i»terests, for the transfer to them Of certain property. In the year -1806, h ow ever, this fraudulent interpolatio n in the St. Pancras registry was detected, and an application was soon after instrument of to the. Lord Chancellor , to s et. aside the of compromise between the old lady . and Mr.passinghanh- Matters however, travelled slowly in the - the of the Court of Chan cery, and ,it was there determined, that ass act - Misses Lloyds had been deliberately done, they could have no relief, In last_December, however, the present plain tiff's claim first accrued as remainder-man, and upon it the present action was brought. The Rev. Rowland Hill was called, but all he kn ew was, that an emit o f hi s had married Mr.'Outeen Llo y d ; lie know . nothing of their private affairs. Mr. Blount i agentlem an f a r advanced in Years, prov ed that in the year 1774 li e was :wa l‘ing the hospitals , 81U residing with a surpon named Burt near. St. Thomas's 1"1"- pi tal, where l ie knew the kne 1 m lute Elilabeth Passingham, who al ways described herself as the illegitimate daughter of a .;;;;, , Ish gentleman,- whom she had offended by an irnpnl' dent Mirriftilli but from whom, for thesake ()flier family , she had alwayo . expeetations alegiwy. A gentleman named Dill, from Shropshire, had called one morning in the borough, and said Mr. Guwen Lloyd was dead. Wit ness asked him whatproperty was left to her. Mr. Bill said nothing. The communication of this unpleasant fact had such an effect upon the poor woman, that she became in- Staidly deliripus; and three days afterwards flung herself out of one of the windows, and was killed on the spot. The Attorney-General, who was brought down special, opened the defendant's case on Saturday morning, (Mr. Russell and Mr. Alexander were also for the defendant), and in a speech of considerable length,reviewed the whole of the legal proceedings which had taken place, in this cause, from the trial in 1794 to the later Chancery pro ceedings, and referred elaborately to the speech arid opi nion of Mr. Erskine, respecting the justice of the claim of the Passingham family, the present defendant, Colonel Pas singham, having served in the American war, and being known and respected by Lord Erskine ' who had himself served in a military capacity before he came to the bar, of which he was afterwaols- so illustrious an ornament. — The Passingham family were now, he said, called, upon, after thirty years' possession of the property at issue, to answer the charge of being the spurious descendants of Mr. Guwen Lloyd. The Attorney-General, with great ingenuity,othere the va li dit y jury that the question was tion of the St. - Pancras regi ster,limpressed or upon of fabrication r the c a which he dismissed in a word as inapplicable from its evident mutilation; but whether Col. Passingham was the le gitimate heir of Mr. G.Lloyd by the marriage with E. Taylor. He urged very forcibly the reasons which would operate to induce Mr. Lloyd after his alliance with the Hills, to conceal his antecedent marriage with a person in the humbler walks of life, which was always whispered as having taken place in the neighbourhood of the Fleet Prison, where, in former times, such marriages were un doubtedly legal, and where clergymen constantly attend ed• to celebrate them, although, according to what fell from Chief Justice Abbott, in the cause of "Beere and Ward," even the assistance of a clerFman was not deemed indispensable for theirperformance. They were, no question of it, as legally binding as those marriages still celebrated at Gretna-green. Indeed, so common was their occurrence in former times, that the father of one of the greatest men of his day, the late Mr. Fox, one of the' great lights and ornaments of his country, had been married in the Fleet, or its neighbourhood, to a daughter of the then Duke of Rich mond. Mr. Guwen Lloyd, who was a dissipated man of for tune, had met Miss Elizabeth Taylor, not as a bar-maid at the Thatched-house tavern, but at a lodging-house, from which he married her, and as she was in very delicate health, removed her to Kentish-town, where she died in 16 months after her marriage, leaving an infant daughter, Elizabeth, who was sent to Teddington, not to school, but to nurse, the mother's health not permitting her to perform that duty. This child was always, in early life, acknowledged by Mr. Lloyd, but disinherited after she had eloped from a boarding-shool with Mr. Passingham. Several witnesses, among whom were Mrs. Vivian, the widow of Colonel Vivian of the Guards, deposed that they knew the Misses Lloyds, the old Ladies, who had been so long in the possession of this property, who had always spoken of Colonel Passingham and his brother as their ne phews, since the year 1794; and the will of Mary Lloyd was put in, affirming that degree of relationship, and in trusting to the Colonel the superintendence of paying cer tain legacies. A school-fellow of Elizabeth, the daughter of Mr. Guwen Lloyd, and Elizabeth Taylor, proved, that she was always known, not as Bet Taylor, but as Miss Lloyd, and treated with respect. These witnesses_ also deposed to the report in the family that there had been a Fleet marriage, the register of which was tendered, but refused in evidence by the Court on the present occasion. • . . Mr. Taunton, in reply to the, defendant's evidence, dis claimed imputing the commision of any fraud , to Colonel Passingluun. Mr. Justice Burrough was engaged in charging the jury from half-past five till past , tune o'clock on Saturday evening.. The jury had not swan their verdict when the coach left Shrewsbury at hulf-paet ten e'eloolc on Satur.. day night. It is understood that this verdict will only affect a small part of the property. Mr. Baron (Jarrow, finding it impossible to obtain the attendance of Counsel in his Court, to proceed with some causes, as they were so mush engaged in the cause of " Lloyd and Passingham," in the other Court, struck se veral causes out of the paper, which must stand over as remanets. LEICESTER, FatuAY, Juts (cgowN Coo wr.--Before the Loan OBEY JUSTICE.) William Moore, Isaac Cooper, Henry Crofts, John Richard son, Thomas Lichfield, W. Stunt, Charles Williamstm,Rivers Morris, and :Michel Smythe, were severally indicted, and the indictment stated that they had riotously assembled on the 14th June last, at the parish of St. Martin, in Leicester, and unlaw fully and riotously disturbed the peace of our Lord the Ring, and that for the space of two hours they had continued thus unlaw fully to conduct themselves. The prisoners pleaded "not guilty." The prosecution, which has arisen out out of the proceedings at the late election, was at the instance of the Mayor and Corporation of Leicester. It was conducted by Mr. Setrant VAVUHAN and the Recorder (E. GouLetiax, Esq.); Mr. DENMAN appeared for the defence. The facts of the case are too recent to require repetition. Mr. Sergeant VauanAx addressed the Jury; after which the first witness was called and sworn, when The Loan Cnur JUSTICE said—lt appears that the object the corporation has m view, is not punishment, but example. Whether the facts charged will be proved or not, it is impossible for me to tell. What I should propose now is, that the prisoners should severally he found guilty of this offence, and enter into their own recognizance' in 1001. each, to come up and receive the lam- Sence of the Court when called upon, and to keep the peace for three years. If theyconduct themselves properly, they will never be called upon to receive sentence. Mr. Sergeant VAUGUAL—Your Lordship has stated that the object of the corporation is to prevent a recurrence ofsimilar evils, and we yield at once to your Lordship's suggestion. Mr. DINMAN.--I purposely abstain from saying one word as to the charges preferred against the prisoners. Ido think, how ever, that they are infinitely indebted to your Lordship for the suggestion. They fully understand it, and prisoners, if you are advised by me, and especially you, Richards, whose feelings on this point I fully know, you will earnestly accept the offer now made to you by that great and good Magistrate, the Lord Chief Justice of England. The prisoners severally thanked his Lordship, and entered into the proposed recognixances. The Loan Cum Jusnez.—Attend to me, young men. De put this Court in peace, and let nie impress on you that you owe much to the lenity of the corporation. Let there be no triumphing on either side, but go to your homes and behave well, and like good citizens. The prisoners retired. In the course of the evening, Mr. Denman wa• drawn oul of the town in his own carriage, by a large portion of the people, His progress was cheered in the most enthusiastic way, and h turned this manifestation of popular feeling with much affectionate Fratitude. We are convinced that his interest here will bh deeply increased by the excellent discretion be has exhibited. , He had a noble theme, but he scorned to increase his new popularity by any risk of his clients' safety. GUILDFORD, FRIDAY, Jura' 21. citowra - SIDP. Edward Edwards was indicted under Lord Ellenborough's Act, for wilfully and maliciously cutting and stabbing with a knife Richard Pople, a police.oflicer, at Bermondsey, on the 22d of June last. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, found the pri owner Not (ruilir,, but he was ordered to be detained for the moult until next Sessions. Samuel Perry was i n di cte d for assaulting Eli za b et h Ann Tully, a child of ten y ears o ld, at Lambeth, On the 21 s t o f J une . with a certain outrageous intent. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, found the prisoner Guilty. Hs was sentenced to two years' imprisonment arid hard labour in the WM* o f Cor rection. The Grand Jury bad found a hill against the prisoner for a capital felony, but upon c onsideration of all the evidence, it was thought advisable to proceed for a-misdenielninur • Jut 22. rit 3 , 7 m, v. .1011 X JACOBS. This defend an t had been convicted at the last Assizes for this county, bef ore M r . 'Baron Graham, of feloniously intermarrying with Catherine. Fitzgerald, his first wife, Dorothy Thm»psOn, being then alive. Upon the trial, a queetion, arose as to the va, Haiti of the first marriage (which took place in Ireland), on the ground that the defendant was under age at the time he contract ed that marriage, and that it was solemnized without the assent of his father. The question arose on the construction of the Irish marriage Act, 9 Gen. 11. chap. 11, which requires the assent of parents to the marriage of an infant ; but by that Act, a marriage so contracted without consent of parents, must be avoided within a twelyemonth afterwards, otherwise it is good. Here the de l'rtdant bad acknowkdged his first wife long since this marriage was solemnised, and had lived with her after the expiration of twelve months. The case was reserved for the opinion of the twelve Judges. Mr. Justice HOLILOYD delivered the opinion of the twelve Judges to be, that the first marriage was good, not having been avoided within twelve months after solemnization. The defendant was then asked what he had to say why he should not receive judgment of death? He said nothing, but on his knees prayed the benefit of the statute making the offence clergy able. . Mr. Justice Hotnovn then told the prisoner, that considering all the particular circumstances of his case, which was, as he un derstood, attended with great aggravation, his learned brother (Graham) thought the proper sentence to be pronounced was, that the prisoner should be transported for seven years, The prisoner, who was a young man of gentlemanly appear ance, bowed to the Court, and was taken front the bar. He had I been known by the name of Capt. Hamilton, and was supposed to have been successful in his matrimonial speculation S.—having mar ried more than two wives. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Etoile of Saturday.) CONSTANTINOPLE, June 25.—A very remarkable fact of the events of Constantinople is the meeting, almost at the same moment, of the superior authorities of this city ; the harmony, which prevails in this movement is a new phenomenon in such a conjuncture, and gives reason to believe that the Government had taken its measures be forehand to provide against the danger and destroy these unmanageable Pretorians. His Highness was at the Se raglio at eight o'clock in the morning, surrounded by Ulemalis, military chiefs Ridjats, of all ranks who had been simultaneously convoked. The Sultan Mahomet and his Ministers took a resolution unheard of in the Ot- toman history—the sortie against the rebels of the sacred standard was declared _necessary by the Mufti himself. His Highness placed this declaration, with the customary forms, in the hands of the Vizier, outside of the second door of the Seraglio, and the public criers immediately proclaimed the following Decree : " Let all Musselmen, let all men true to their faith and their religion, take up arms and repair to the sacred standard (sandjak-cherif) of Sultan Achmet." In fact, the Grand Vizier, the Mufti, the Kadinskers, he Instambel-effendisse, and the Ulemabs repaired to the Hippodrome, accompanied by an immense crowd already armed. The Aga Paella, with his Lieutenant, and a corps of more than 2,000 Seymens, was in the front ; and the Topchi-bachi, with his artillerymen, marched with several pieces of cannon, which had been transported in great haste from the arsenal to the seraglio. The corps of the softas (students) were present among this armed multi tude, as well as the Mewlevis and other Dervises, march ing with pikes, under the guidance of their Cheiks. The sandjak-cherif was carried into the choir of the Mosque Achinet, and left under the guard of the Emirs,commirnded by the Nakyhul-Echref; and after this ceremony the Grand Vizier, the Ministers, and the Magistrates, en camped under tents which had been fixed in the Hippodrome. It is generally said that the Grand Seignior, after having de dared the revolted troops apostates and impious, and thus placed them out of the protection ofboth the eiyil and religious law, wished to march at the head of the troops against the rebels; but the Ministers threw themselves at his feet to per suade him against this measure, entreating him to remain at the seraglio. His Highness, it is said, then pro nounced an anathema against the Odjak of the Janissaries, and decreedthe destruction of that corps, which had been so long an object of terror, but this malediction was not I) .A. n t l..)l t i l c . ly tu p , ro m e t ti t n:e i d t. m is nail. thy: orning of otlfte the j h u j o l. f i, Lut i l e e ; threw his distinguixiting cap, as the chief of the datneseries, on the ground, in tlw presence of the Sultan, and covered his head with a shawl as a proof of his obedience, and in order to remain near the Grand Vizier, and execute the orders of this Lieutenant-General of the Caliph. It would be difficult to describe the effect and the movement which the, call to the standard of the Prophet produced. The spectacle was unique. When the preparations were corn pleted, the Aga Paths, Mehemet Pacha, and the Toptchi Pacha, at the head of their troops, marched from the Hippodrome against the rebels, proclaiming at the same time the appeal to all true Musselntn,—. Towards noon the Aga Pacha, after having made himself master of the hotel of the Aga of the Janissaries and of the quarter of the Sulesmanies, directed his march towards the environs of the Alineidan. The barracks into which the rebels had been, so to speak, forced back; were soon surrounded. By the orders of his High ness, the Kychlas were set on fire, and between tw o . an d three o'clock in the afternoon cloudii of smoke were the signal of this important success. The Mufti had forbid den to give the rebels quarter ; thus there was no mercy, particularly for the Chiefs. No distinguished leader was at the head of the insurrection, though it was so very serious, but it was destined to fail under the terrible curse which was heaped on it. The Topchis fought with bravery and devOtedness. The Pachas have recompensed them, by distributing gold, and giving prizes to the most distin guished. One of their Colonels (Cam Djehennem Ibra him-Aga), already celebrated for his intrepidity, was wounded in the field of battle, but did not retire till he was obliged by the loss of blood. His Highness sent several times a day to inquire into the state of this officer's wounds, and it is supposed his honour will not be satisfied with these a itt:s t hhon t eee e nut i n ieanmA t dto i t. o seißi. ep s t dt yi.

Their Oustas were sent to the Hippodrome, and after their identity had been recognised, they were strangled immediately. The night of the 15t' and 16th was illuminated by the burning of the barracks, which lasted till day-break, for the Sultan had ordered that the fire should not be extinguished. At noon, the Sultanwent to hear the Friday's prayers at the small Mosque (Zeinel-Sultan Djamissi) near the Gate of St. Sophie. For the first time, since the annihilation of the Odjak of the Janissaries, the Toptchis formed the line, together with the Seymens. The Imans of each Mosque, whether of a parish or an adjunct, were summoned to the Hippo drome,at the head of the peaceable cititizens of their districts. The public criersproclaimed an order not to shelter any fugi tives, announcing that whoever sheltered one should be punished with death. The 24 gates of Constantinople, which had been shut, withthe exception of one (Vaghtche-Ka poussi), the guard' of Which had been entrusted to the Topthis and the Seymen s, under th e orders of the 24 Capidji-bachis, have be en re-o p ened . The Grand Vizier and the Mufti remain ed p ermanentl y enctunped alWaya in , tents, and presided over a Grand Council, at which the Ulemahs, the:Cheiltha,. and all the pe rs on s o f d ist inction in the capital, w ere pre sent. At ev ery Wise a huithern was ordered to be kept burning till day-ligh t , an d this circum ,tints being a great novelty, had . attracted to the streets a co ncourse of Peaceable spectators, who were not distnrbed by . any thing. In the :qiiarter of the Franks, ti 4 Europeans, under the influence -of this unexpected security, passed a part of the night walking about, and visiting the coffee-houses and other places of meeting, °utile 17th the sandjak-cherif was no longer displayed at the mosque of the Sultan Achniet. The Grand Vizier, the Ulemahs, and the Minister s , also quitted the Hippo drome. The Sultan continues~ to inhabit the part of the Seraglio called Top-Kapou, where he in general passes th e first days of the spring, before going to his summer le re- palace. In the girdles of several Harnmals put to death, were found diamonds and considerable sums of money.-- The Khandjar of the Grand Vizier, his snuff box, and a 'quantity ,of jewels, have been found on the Hammals ,of Galata and Constantinople. Such of them as had not deserved death have been banished to Asia, in order that they might return. The number of these exiles is so great, that. the person at the camp of the Grand Vizier, who gives the passports, makes one serve for all those who belong to the same district. The women, who were living at Eski-Seraglio, have been moved to Tchift Seraglio-lar, a palace situated in the quarter Kodja-Pacha, near the glue. Eski-Seraglio is known under the name of Nizam Kapoussi (hotel, or barrack of the regular troops). It is to be converted into a place for exercising the troops. The executions and the banishments continue with the same rigour; acrd the Government, in order to render all these rigoroni measures legal, proceeds in the following manner Cheikhulislam, assisted by the two Cadhis-Askers power, and eight old Cadhis-Askers of Romelia and MM. tolls, form the supreme tribtmal which decides on the Fite ()lathe accused, after an examination of the facts; andafter their confession, the sentence is pronounced byllo grand Judges, and confirmed by the Mufti, on their collect ive report. Death, exile, or freedom, follows immediately. It is said that on the following Sunday an Austrian subject (M. Marenovich) repaired to Constantinople with a Consul, who is a Jew, to examine the site of the business of the 15th. They excited some suspicions, were arrested!, and carried before the Aga Pacha Seraskier, as Engli . 4 spies. The animosity against the latter is generaL— Kutchnk Mehemmed. Paella has returned to his head quarters in Asia. Aga Pacha was informed, on Wednes day the 14th, of the intended insurrection, by tEe penPle of the palace, who had been invited to join it. Their re usal to enter into the conspiracy was repeated, three times. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
